about

Where you come from...

lyrics

Born in Scarborough General
Eastern GTA
God you're so ephemeral
Followed me to this day

Toddler life in Toronto
And then we moved away
Growing up in Ottawa
But back for summer holidays

Sometimes I was Spider-Man
Sometimes I was the Hulk
Sometimes I was Michael Jackson
Perfecting my moon walk

I came from perfect poverty
I never knew the name
Innocence is fleeting
And never returns again

Adults are always anguished
For something we have lost
Childhood we have languished
The mirror in the frost

Born in Scarborough General
Just a data fact
Doesn't matter, I reckon
It's truth that I lack

Born in Scarborough General
Eastern GTA
God you're so ephemeral
Followed me to this day

Toddler life in Toronto
And then we moved away
Growing up in Ottawa
But back for summer holidays
